Mystery M1 Liner webbing, Early Aussie issue?

Hello all,

I have been trying to identify these type liners recently as I have one in my collection with foreign webbing that I could never pin point the origin! The few pics are of the example I own, the other shown is one that it currently being sold by an Australian seller on ebay.

From what I can discover these are late 1950's- early 1960's US made liners with mystery webbing and rivets. As far I can tell these types of webbing and rivets were never used by the US. I have my suspicion that these are early (pre late 1970's) Australian issued m1 liners, but I could be wrong. My idea stems from the fact I have only seen this type in Australia so far and the webbing is the same colour shade as the iconic (white stamped) Aussie liners.

I've seen several on eBay with PASGT covers and one or two with M1 woodland types. My own example has the latter. I've not seen any of these Peruvian helmets in surplus shops yet, by the way, although I believe others have. Regards, John

That's very handy to know John, I will keep an eye out for these on ebay. Thanks for the heads up
